I need to be clonned only for the 14th! I remembered I agreed to attend a wedding with my mom 2 months ago for the 14th of September. Any good excuses?
Say you bought tickets because you thought if was for the 14th of October. I have a wedding this Saturday but I'm going down on the 14th.
Contract West Nile virus. You sure won't be a hit at the wedding but you'll be welcome at the game. Especially considering that we've all probably been exposed to worse eminating from the mudding banks of the Anacostia...
Just tell her the truth, that other than your own wedding, this match is more important. And of course if it were your own wedding, you wouldn't schedule it on a game day!!!
Unless you're Dave Brother, in which case you'd make sure that the wedding happened early enough in the day to give you time to get to the game afterwards.
Is your mom Bolivian? Good Luck...But actually I had the same situation a couple of years ago. I just told her the truth. I love Futbol. She's a mom, she'll understand. See if you can get a cousin or uncle to sub for you. Just be prepared for years of guilt.
